Bell and Hypertec to strengthen Canada’s sovereign AI ecosystem

MONTRÉAL, February 25, 2026 – Bell, Canada’s largest communications company, and Hypertec, a Canadian global leader in large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance compute infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to pursue opportunities in delivering end-to-end sovereign AI infrastructure built, hosted and operated in Canada. 

This partnership combines Hypertec’s Canadian-built GPU infrastructure, including advanced NVIDIA based AI systems manufactured through its domestic supply chain, with Bell AI Fabric, a national platform for Canadian-hosted AI compute and data centre services. Together, the companies aim to enable secure, scalable access to advanced AI compute while ensuring that critical workloads and data remain in Canada under Canadian jurisdiction. 

By integrating Hypertec’s domestic manufacturing capabilities and Canadian supply chain with Bell’s national data centre footprint, the partnership is expected to enable public sector, enterprise and research customers to deploy AI workloads securely and at scale, while maintaining confidence and control over how and where data and compute resources are governed.
